Little Claire couldn't ask for better friend than this protective corgi

For first-time parents, there are plenty of pre-baby worries.

One especially is how the household pet will react when the 'new pet' is brought home.Such was the case for Northern California man Chris Lowe and his wife Miriam, who welcomed baby Claire into the world in November, and questioned how the situation would unfold with four-year-old corgi Wilbur, whom they had had since he was born.'We didn't know how Wilbur would handle not being the only object of our affection, you know?' he told The Mail Online US.'We kept a tight grip in his collar when he first met her, but as you can see from the first pic all he wanted to do was sniff her.'Mr Lowe said he thinks Wilbur's initial attraction was Claire's soft blanket, however he soon because fascinated with her.'Now they're best friends, really,' he said.'He follows us wherever we carry her throughout the house, he gives us concerned and slightly annoyed looks when she cries, and we couldn't be happier with how it turned out!'Mr Lowe posted pictures of the developing relationship on his Reddit page and soon recieved an overwhelming response.Each picture was captioned with what was happening at the time, such as the first meeting, etc.Interested Reddit viewers were quick to offer opinions, including one who said they also had a corgi who came protective of their child, to the point the dog stopped sleeping.They needed a Vet to prescribe medication just to get the pup back into the habit of sleep.Wilbur was bought from a breeder in Northern California when he was 10-weeks-old, Mr Lowe said.(dailymail.co.uk)ANN.Az
